FLU
VACCINATIONS
WESLEYAN OFFERS
TRIP TO ITALY AND
AVAILARLE
Special to The Rambler
Beginning October 18th, In-
fluenza (flu) vaccinations will be
available in the Health Center.
Even though there have been re-
cent articles stating we should be
prepared for an early flu outbreak
this year, the immunity produced
by a flu vaccination will decrease
within four months. According to
the Centers for Disease Control,
the optimal time for a vaccination
is during the period between mid-
October and mid-November, as
influenza activity generally peaks
between late December and early
March.
The Health Center is located
in Room 222 on the second floor
of the Brown-Lupton Student
Center. The center is open from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
Influenza vaccinations (flu
shots) will be available to all
students, faculty, staff and their
dependents for a cost of $6.00
each.

Deborah Norwood may be con-
tacted at 5314432 or 5314857

Brush up on your Italian
and Greek, and pack your bags!
Via Antiqua promises to be a
glorious 15-day excursion
through Southern Italy and
Greece, with visits to 12 loca-
tions of cultural and historical
prominence. Dr. John Fisher,
Texas Wesleyan faculty mem-
ber and veteran travel escort,
will lead the trip.
The tour includes roundtrip
air transportation via scheduled
airlines from Dallas/Fort Worth
or other gateway cities; trans-
portation throughout the trip by
private coach and cruise; ac-
commodations in first-class
hotels (3*** or higher) with
private bath; continental
breakfasts and dinners daily;
half day sightseeing tours each
day with local, piofessional,
English-speaking guides; one-
day Greek Island cruise to the
Saronic Gulf Islands; overnight
cruise Brindis/Patras in twin-
bedded inside cabins; and all
tips and taxes for hotel and
restaurant services included in
the itinerary. In Italy, the
tour route will approximate the
Via AppiaAntica (Old Appian
Way), built by imperial Rome
in the 1st century B.C., con-
necting Rome to its seaport
terminal at Brindisi, in the heel
of the Italian peninsula. There
will also be many opportunities
to visit museums, ancient
castles, theaters, shrines,
temples, catacombs, ruins and
other sites of archaeological and
GREECE
historic interest.
"Frankly, the idea for this
trip was inspired by the success
of this past summer's tour
around the Arc of the Mediter-
ranean, from Madrid to Rome,”
Dr. Fisher said. “We were wit-
nesses to so much magnificent
art and culture, that it seemed
logical to continue the search
for the roots of western civili-
zation. Via Antiqua could be
fairly subtitled, ‘The Roots of
Western Culture, The Sequel,'
hence the itinerary I’ve chosen,”
he said.
Highlights of the trip will
include a sample of Rome’s
many ancient ruins and mag-
nificent preservations; the lava
and ash covered remains of
Herculaneum and Pompeii,
devastated by the eruption of
Mt. Vesuvius near Naples in
A.D. 79; the archaeological
complex of Doric temples at
Paestum; a number of out-
standing collections of ancient
artifacts, including the National
Archaeological Museum in
Naples, the Ridola National
Museum in Matera, and the
Magna Graecia Museum in
Taranto; and many of the most
famous wonders of ancient
Greece, including the Acropo-
lis, the Parthenon, the city of
Delphi and its famous oracle, a
one-day cruise to the beautiful
Saronic Gulf Islands southwest
of Athens, and much more.
“This will be like travel-
ing in a time machine, ex-
ploring these aspects, going
back to the 1 st century B.C.,”
Dr. Fisher said. “A minimum
of 15 people will be required
for Via Antiqua, and for the
first time, Texas Wesleyan
will give a 3 hour fine arts
credit for this trip,” he said.
Dr. Fisher has organized
and led university travel ex-
periences to Western Europe,
Scandinavia, Australia, New
Zealand, Eastern Europe and
the former Soviet Union. In
May of 1990 he led the
university's Jewels in the
Musical Crown tour to
Prague, Cracow, Budapest
and Vienna, just after the
overthrow of the communist
regime in Eastern Europe. In
July of 1991 he led Texas
Wesleyan's Musica
Scandinavia trip to Bergen,
Oslo, Copenhagen,
Stockholm and Helsinki.
During the summer of 1993,
he escorted the university’s
Arc of the Mediterranean tour
to Madrid, Toledo, Barcelona,
Montserrat, Nice, Monaco,
Pisa, Florence and Rome.
Cost of the tour is $2,948.
Via Antiqua: The Glories of
Ancient Rome and Greece is
limited to no more than 30
participants. Seats are avail-
able on a first-come, first-
served basis and early regis-
tration is strongly advised.
Deadline for registration is
Wednesday, December IS,
1993; a $300 per person de-
posit to reserve seats is ac-
ceptable at any time.
Complete details may be
obtained by contacting either
the Alumni Office or Depart-
ment of Music.
